Parade report. (part of it)

BBC News.

Luke Reddy, BBC Sport (Mediacity)

It's been an attack on the senses. The smell of the pyro, the noise of the music, the sound of emotional voices and the sight of teams with trophies.

Fireworks flashed off from the buildings that make up Liverpool's waterfront and confetti cannons turned the air red.

People stood on traffic lights. People stood on road signs. Kids sat on the shoulders of dads.

Memories were being created wherever you looked and hopefully, there were kids out there who will fall in love with all the joy football can bring.

The players were absolutely loving it and in truth, whoever you support, football is pretty magic, isn't it?


Followed by underneath.

The parade took place less than 24 hours after the Champions League final, which saw Liverpool supporters face long queues in the hours before the game and a heavy-handed response from French police to the build-up of fans.

Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries has urged Uefa to formally investigate the "deeply concerning" scenes, which delayed the start of the game.

Smell of the pyro? The cops had to issue a warning as so many kids were burning themselves with it

Without looking or speaking French I'll hazard a guess they think liverpool are cunts.

If there was anything to improve Anglo-French relations and find common ground?

Apocalypse Now. Dippers love the smell of burning pyro at a parade.

Henry also played down that it was "a small amount of locals" who were climbing the fences. You have to question Henry's accuracy of reporting when you see clips like this who clearly aren't in small numbers nor are they locals..

You should know better than to expect accuracy from a UK sports 'journalist'.

The Liverpool loving media are really in full force this morning across all outlets and not one of them have mentioned the following in any detail, nor have they seemed to investigated any of the points like good old journalists used to do.

1. Why did thousands of Liverpool fans travel to Paris without tickets? What the hell was the point, and how many of them congregated at the stadium with the intention of getting in.

2. The fact the Liverpool fans with fake/forged tickets attempted to, or gained access to the stadium, causing genuine Liverpool fans with tickets the problems experienced.

3. There was no trouble at the Real Madrid entrances.

Couldn't agree more! All blindingly obvious ahead of the game, as many of us predicted!

One of my favourite all-time quotations is from Ralph Waldo Emerson.. 'Commonsense is genius dressed in its working clothes'.

You must have your overalls on as well this morning!

UEFA know what the liverpool fans are……

Football: Leaked Uefa report condemns Liverpool fans as 'worst behaved in Europe'

A leaked Uefa report has branded Liverpool's fans the "worst behaved in Europe", stating they have been involved in 25 separate disturbances at European away games since 2003.

www.theguardian.com

14 years old that article and still accurate. You can add on to that list of '25 disturbances' with the multiple fountain related incidents in the build up to the Madrid game in 2019, and numerous other incidents before and since.

Sky claiming 500,000 at Liverpool’s parade.

Confirmation if we ever needed that these parade figures the scousers put out are just made up.

Why is it so exact and why did it look like less than 10x that?

Crowd is getting bigger every min. 600K according to this one
